And baby makes four!

Another baby is on the way for R&B singer Ne-Yo — he and Monyetta Shaw are expecting their second child together this October.

There is also confirmation that the happy couple are indeed engaged.

“[Fatherhood] has been a ride, but I’m loving every minute of it,” says Ne-Yo, 31, who’s already dad to daughter Madilyn Grace, 10 months.

“[Maddie]‘s been trying to walk since she was two months old,” he said at his annual Compound Foundation benefit, held Wednesday in Denise Rich’s Manhattan home.

“She’ll grab your hands and pull herself up and do a little wobble dance. She likes scooting along the wall. She moves really fast.”

Independence doesn’t come without a cost, however.

“She definitely knows her worth — which is a beautiful thing. That’s something I’ve tried to instill in her from day one: understand that you are a Godsend,” explains Ne-Yo. “You’re an absolute angel and people are supposed to treat you that way. She’s extremely a diva even at 10 months.”

What are Maddie’s diva traits? “She’s a growler right now,” he says. “She’ll only let you hold her a certain way.”

And although she loves his music, he admits he takes a back seat when it comes to Disney’s main man.

“Daddy loses out to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. She loves the ‘Hot Dog!’ song [by They Might Be Giants]. She knows two words: ‘Dada’ and ‘hot dog’.”
